MD5 Checksums and Windows
Ever downloaded an application realised the site had the MD5 Checksums there but you didn't bother to check them because you couldn't be bothered to install something and faff just to generate MD5 hashes on Windows?
In case you are not familiar with MD5 Checksums, it is basically a number which represents the exact contents of the file, a finger print as it were, often when you download an application a website will provide the checksums and you ideally need to check your downloaded file matches. This ensures that what is about to be run is what the site had intended for you to have and nothing else had been added or removed.
So anyway, I found a really nice easy and free little program to do such checks at the click of a mouse and thought I would share it. http://www.colonywest.us/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=56
